On this special episode of the Official Xbox Podcast, we dive into new unseen Avowed gameplay while chatting with Game Director Carrie Patel. Stay tuned for ...

They finally just let you put points into the primary attributes on level up! Hopefully they carry it through to the next (hopefully) Pillars of Eternity game, because I always took issue with the flat bonuses you got to offense and defense on each level up. Plus the rest of this looks good too.

    Whereas POE2 and similar games very much felt like we were “losing out” a bit to support the VO. Because… we were.

    It’s funny, because I thought POE2 proved quite handily that we very much were not losing out. Yeah, it raises the cost, but we’ve had a decade now of CRPGs bucking the trends of the AAA RPGs that motivated them, most of them fully voiced at this point if they didn’t launch that way. POE2 launched fully voiced, and it’s still one of the best of those.
